Chapter 953 Liu Yao's Dilemma
Liu Yao's shop is in Wutong Lane.
Wutong Lane is an old street in Jialin City covered by sycamore trees.
This alley, which is about five or six hundred meters long, is covered with wide and large leaves by the vigorous sycamore trees when spring comes and flowers bloom, covering the sky and blocking the sunlight from reaching this old street.
If you count on your fingers, the number of days that people living here can enjoy the sunshine without restraint is less than a quarter in a year.
After numerous responses from the public and numerous communications between the city sanitation department and the municipal government, it was finally decided to renovate and repair this street this year.
When Su Mingzhe drove to Wutong Lane, he saw a yellow warning sign at the entrance of the lane, prohibiting vehicles from passing.
After finding a parking space nearby, Su Mingzhe walked into Wutong Lane and came to the door of a photo studio called "Ke Zhen Man".
Liu Yao was wearing a single coat and jeans, standing in front of the photo studio, her tall figure was graceful and elegant. When the man came to her side, she said in a faint voice:
"I thought you were really gone!"
"I had already decided to leave, but luckily, the money I invested in the stock market made a lot of money, so now I don't have to leave."
After Su Mingzhe accepted his original identity, he didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Yao, who had already "let go of everything", so he hadn't contacted Liu Yao for the past two months.
However, now that Liu Yao contacted him on her own initiative, Su Mingzhe thought about it and decided to come over.
Don't give face to the monk, but look at the Buddha's face. Even for the sake of your original body, come and see if there is anything I can do to help.
Su Mingzhe came to Liu Yao and asked with clear eyes:
"Yaoyao, call me, is there anything you need my help with?"
Seeing that the man seemed to want to draw a line between them, Liu Yao began to hesitate whether she should ask the man for help.
It is true that she is in trouble, but she will not go begging.
Just then, an autumn breeze blew, causing her to shiver uncontrollably, and then she started coughing lightly.
"you caught a cold?"
Su Mingzhe frowned and reached out to turn the woman's face. Only then did he realize that the girl's face looked really ugly, with a bluish complexion and bloodshot pupils. These were symptoms of excessive mental stress, liver fire and yang deficiency, and anemia.
"It's okay. I've already taken medicine and had an injection."
Liu Yao once again felt the man's concern for her. The grievances she had suffered in the past two months came to her mind. Her eyes became hot and transparent tears dripped onto her chest.
Su Mingzhe looked down and swallowed hard.
Liu Yao was wearing a thin coat today, with a thin and transparent white T-shirt underneath.
Through the thin T-shirt, you can clearly see that the half-supportive black bra is supporting a pair of snow-white breasts.
"The images in memory are just images in memory. They are not as impactful as seeing it with your own eyes!"
Su Mingzhe waited for Liu Yao to cough lightly before shifting his gaze and finding a topic to divert attention:
"Yaoyao, why are you here to work when you're still sick? Otherwise, I'll take you home first."
Liu Yao shook her head slightly, forced out a smile and said:
"Still no, the landlord called and urged me to pay the next year's rent, and I have to come over soon. This time I called you because I have no cash on hand, and I wanted to see if you can help me..."
After hearing what Liu Yao said, Su Mingzhe was a little surprised:
"I remember you have savings, right?"
Liu Yao had been the original body's lover for several years, and the original body had spent a lot of money on her. When he finally "let go of her", he even gave her 500,000 yuan as "youth loss compensation".
"I used all my savings to pay the mortgage."
Liu Yao smiled bitterly and told the man about her current situation.
After she parted ways with her original body, she not only received a 'breakup fee' of 500,000 yuan, but also a house that was under mortgage.
Logically speaking, with this money, she should be living a good life.
However, she listened to her friends and thought that it was not cost-effective to pay off the mortgage for 20 to 30 years. After breaking up with the man, she applied for a mortgage loan and paid off the remaining mortgage in one lump sum.
To this end, she sold all the high-end jewelry and bags the man gave her, and borrowed a lot of money, only then was she able to pay off her mortgage.
For Liu Yao, the house is no longer mortgaged, but she is still in debt.
In August, the street was renovated and Wutong Lane could no longer be used.
The photo studio, which was already barely breaking even, went out of business.
By the end of September, the photo studio couldn't even pay its employees' salaries, and now the landlord is asking for rent for the new year.
In a hurry, Liu Yao went around borrowing money in the rain.
As a result, she not only failed to borrow the money, but also fell ill and stayed in the hospital for a week.
Seeing that Liu Yao had not paid the rent, the landlord simply issued an ultimatum: today was the last day, and if she still couldn't pay, he would take away the house.
Liu Yao really had no other choice but to think of her "old lover" and made a phone call to see if she could "borrow some money".
Hearing that Liu Yao had been having such a hard time recently, Su Mingzhe felt a little distressed. He sighed, took out his phone from his pocket, and asked:
"How much did you borrow from outside?"
"About three hundred thousand."
Liu Yao's friends were willing to lend her so much money because she already had a house and a shop.
If these friends knew her current situation, they would definitely urge her to pay back the money.
"I'll transfer one million to you first, and you can pay back the money you borrowed. As for the rent of this shop, when the landlord comes, I'll ask him if I can buy it."
In order to tie Liu Yao's heart back to himself, Su Mingzhe was naturally willing to invest.
In less than a minute, the bell rang, indicating that one million had arrived.
Liu Yao felt relieved.
In any case, with this one million, we will definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties.
The two entered the photo studio.
Su Mingzhe asked Liu Yao to sit down and have a rest, and he went to boil a pot of water to make tea.
Although this photo studio has not had much business for more than two months, the tables, chairs and counters are all kept clean and spotless.
It can be seen that Liu Yao has devoted a lot of effort to this photo studio.
The original incarnation had been here before, so Su Mingzhe still had some impression of this place.
This shop has two floors, each floor is about 100 square meters.
At the beginning, the original owner used his connections and found an acquaintance to get the rent at 15,000 yuan per month, which is 180,000 yuan a year.
The rent for similar shops nearby is generally over 200,000, and sometimes as high as 250,000.
Just as the tea was brewed and Su Mingzhe was about to sip it slowly, the doorbell rang. He looked up and saw a beautiful young woman in her thirties with a baby face and a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth, pushing the door open:
"Xiao Liu, have you collected enough money for the rent?"
"Sister Qianqian, the money is ready."
Without waiting for the man to speak, Liu Yao responded first, stood up with a smile, and invited the beautiful young woman to sit down.
The beautiful young woman walked in at this time and noticed that Su Mingzhe was also there. Her face suddenly became a little gloomy and ugly:
"So President Su is here too..."
